Had a scare a few years ago also, Too many years without sunscreen in my younger years. Also use Neutrogena but the Wet Skin Sunscreen.

I actually have 4 or so post it's going at a time. I label them tinsel, tailing, wings etc. Nice for holding beads and eyes temperately too.

I really like window style boxes.

Here's one I use quite a bit, especially on those material you lay down and can't find again. Use post it notes to hold Hackle tinsel and other materials. Low tack won't damage fine materials, and you don't have to scan you desk for it. I often use it in production tying to hold a dozen tails wings etc. You can also write info about the materials on the note.

Actually never really had a problem with that. As long as there is some dubbing hanging out the front the rest of the stuff follows. Started using this many years ago when I wanted a way to store dubbing that I make, and hated the clutter those dubbing bag make.

One of my sons solved that problem by buying a wood serving tray and gluing a bunch of small wooden storage boxes to it.

Thought I would post some tips occasionally about fly tying, This is one that is really handy. If you have access to pill containers, they make really great dubbing holders. they come in a variety of sizes. Just drill a hole in the bottom with an electric drill and you have a great storage unit. Fills easily through the cap. This one holds 3 packages of dubbing and I just peeled the label off the package and put it on the tube.

Please be careful out there guys.

It works great. I use em in white , fluro Green and Orange.

You do have to remember if you are a wade fisherman that you share the river. I often stop casting when a Drift Boat comes close. They are just that Drift Boats, and cant always change direction quickly, courtesy on both parts is key. Having been on the other side and guiding and rowed for years I understand the business, I've been on the other side where I've come around a corner and been in the drift lane of a Wader way out in the river. I'd always give em a heads up if they don't see me and have my clients rein in. I've had boats come within a rod length of me, no big deal, big river for everyone. 99.9% of drifters are great.

There is a LOOP AEG 590-3 trout bum rod. 5wt, 9 Foot, for sale on the board. Sweet rod.

I went for a minimalist approach years ago, 6 flies. And after watching a big Brown feeding on PMD's that I had left at home I changed my mind on that silly thought and theory. I like to go loaded for bear. Now my minimum is one large window box, two small dry window box's and a streamer box in my vest or my full Richardson

Depends where I am fishing, species after and what mood I'm in. For a Brookie trip a small box in my shirt pocket will do. For more Technical presentations, its my 4 compartment Richardson box with ore complete bug stages.

Will do

Ok so how about this one, it will be tested on a Brown stream fairly soon.

Excellent I look forward to it, by the way when does the "Silver Doctor" series start?

Sounds like an encounter that could have turned nasty. You did the right thing by leaving. I would report it through.

Most shops have blowout sales yearly on gear. Its nice to see what you are buying, support the local shops who give you great knowledge on local waters, and get you kids involved withe the process visiting the shop and choosing. Just my opinion

Wonderful

Ran into bears more than a few times over the years but never had to use it. Had it out with a Black Bear once that was snapping and popping as it approached head down but it turned after I backed away and talked it down. I actually think I carry it more for humans and dogs. than bears. Had much more problems with them than the multitude of bear encounters.

I carry the Frontiersman, its 0.857% capsaicin. Don't know if its the best but is readily available.

I doubt if there is a reel on that list that isn't great.

The one you don't have to use.
